I studied all the 3 minnow’s advice posts.
Very interesting to read the earlier days of steemit; way back... back.. very back... May 16. You are absolutely correct in mentioning that do not bother about curation rewards or post rewards. It took me 4 months to understand that I can earn rewards by commenting and now I earn more rewards by commenting or replying than my own posts. The post I take good pains get 4 or 5 votes with no reply. But a funny YouTube copied video gets 45 votes. I think it is no use of finding logic. As you said sheer luck. But i keep going on posting, commenting, replying up voting. When I see your 72 rating I get inspired.

Second post gives good suggestions to minnows like me. I studied 3 times. Seriously planning to start on those grounds. I liked your suggestion “If you do what most people do, you are going to get what most people get." so I feel, time for me to do that core 10% can do. Thanks for the suggestion.

ha... ha...ha... "Post pictures of their cats and have fun" true I see them hundreds every day. I spend at least 4 hours on steemit site... getting new tips day by day.

Your third post gave me some more clarity. I am on that now... seriously. Your guidance is very valuable for me.

Fantastic suggestions and great 3 posts. I am taking it seriously. Till now I was wandering in a dark jungle with little lamp. Thank you very very much. I understood that you really mean what you said in your post: "The virtuous cycle of upvoting your comment section..."
